I don't feel 16GB RAM and 8GB of VRAM is mid range. Certainly not average. But consoles still often have less memory in comparison and must be more efficient via streaming data.

How you feel is irrelevant, with all due respect.
16GB of System Ram is what mid-range gaming PC's have, Dell even throws that in with some of it's more budget-conscious orientated gaming PC's.
8GB is low end... And you can't even buy 2x2GB DDR4 for 4GB setups.
8GB GPU's like the Radeon RX 480/580/590 are mid-range GPU's (They were mid-range even on release), which is roughly the same powerlevel as the Xbox One X.
Step it up to the nVidia Geforce RTX GPU's... And you have the RTX 2060 Super which also comes with 8GB of Ram... On the AMD side of the fence you have the Radeon RX 5500XT and 5600 both with it's 8GB of Ram.
So 16GB+8GB is what a mid-range rig will generally have today.
High-end you are looking at 32GB System+11GB-24GB of GPU Ram for a total of 43-56GB of memory.
I.E. 32GB+Radeon 7 16GB = 48GB.
32GB+Titan RTX 24GB = 56GB.
Enthusiast you could be looking towards 64-256GB of System Memory and potentially 24-48GB of total GPU memory.

Genuine question Pemalite,
The Series X has 16 Gigs (13Gigs of GDDR6 and 3 Gigs of DDR6 Ram) I don't know any GPU on the market that's mid range that offers 16gigs of GDDR6, not even high end models have 16gigs of GDDR6.. the Mid range PCs you are referring to are 16gigs of DDR3 or DDR4 with 2gigs to 4gigs of GDDR5 ram, its quite the opposite of what type of ram they are running. Correct me if I am wrong here.
Now I don't know the difference between running a game on a 16gigs DDR4 ram on PC compared to a Console running 16gigs of GDDR6 Ram.. but it doesn't sound like a mid range PC is on par there.
